ORIGINS Figure 3.2
A fairly common form of Zingerplatz insertion. Caution must be
exercised not to press too deeply when inserting the needle into the
dominant zinger-orb. This procedure was discovered during a simple
parlor game at the house of Emile B. Smith, universally regarded as the
father of modern nonsense.
WHAT
IT IS
Founded in April 2002,
Zingerplatz Pictures, Inc. is the demon stepchild of Picture Business
Productions. Joe Cultrera, a former partner in Picture Business,
began Zingerplatz with little thought and no long-term vision,
hallmarks of Cultrera’s business strategy. “I will start an
empire, and it will be called Zingerplatz,” Cultrera declared to a
gathering of potential business investors at a Laundromat in
Queens. Several quarters were donated and the rest is television
history.
In a recent interview, a source close to Cultrera explained, “He’s
quite mad you know, completely harmless but completely nuts." When
asked what a Zingerplatz was, Cultrera eloquently responded, “Damnit,
will you just leave me alone!”
And so you have it. A man with a vision. A word without
definition. A world without sense. Amen.
